Total Hip Replacement (THR) Rehab

Rehabilitation is key to a successful return to daily activities and sport, following a total hip replacement. Surgery often leads to arthrogenic inhibition, which is where pain and swelling inhibit the electrical signals that are normally sent to the muscles. Physio & progressive rehab helps to reverse these changes. We have been helping people rehab their hip replacements for 15 years. Being a Specialised Lower Limb Rehab Clinic in South Dublin, we are here to thoroughly assess your hip & guide you back to your sport or recreational activity.

THR Rehab : The 5 Phases

Our ankle rehab process involves 5 distinct phases. The work completed in each phase helps to prepare the individual for the next phase. You cannot skip phases!

 

Ankle rehabilitation is criteria-driven, not time-driven. This means that you will work towards meeting specific targets in each phase. If you don't put in the work in one phase, you will not be ready or able to move to the next. This process is proven to work and it ensures that we leave no stone unturned & that nothing gets missed during your rehabilitation.

 

We understand that being injured can be tough. There will be challenging periods throughout rehab, but we are here to guide you the entire way. Think about rehab as being an opportunity to come out the other side, physically & mentally stronger than your were pre-injury. 

 

Ultimately, the goal of ankle rehab is not only to be back playing sport in a few weeks or months time, but to still be playing sport with healthy ankles in 5 and 10 years time. With this in mind, we have refined our rehab process over the past 15 years, to ensure that you receive the latest evidence-based treatment & high quality exercise prescription. 

 

The 5 phases of rehabilitation are outlined below.

Success Stories

Alex

"I attended Dec for treatment of a hip injury and to learn a bit more about strength exercises to assist with running. Dec’s knowledge and expertise meant that my hip injury was thoroughly assessed and he provided me with a robust and accessible rehabilitation plan which worked.

He took a genuine interest in helping me understand the mechanics involved in increasing my strength and power for running and was patient and encouraging while I got to grips with the various exercises I will be taking forward from here.

I would highly recommend Dec to anybody looking for a physiotherapist. 5 stars.
